Re: Old local expressions

Yep, it's one we used to say too -haven't heard it in ages though. When something made you feel like you wanted to be sick. There was a horrible smell on Frederick st. Ossy quite often from the mill -used to make you feel like that -don't know what it was but we all used to say it smelt like boiled oranges!
